The terms and conditions of the loan are as follows:
 
1  Preconditions for granting the loan and suspension of loan disbursement
 
The loan is based on information provided by the borrower and known to the lender when the financing   offer is made concerning the borrower company’s   financial standing, profitability, operating plans, ownership, executives and the intended use of the loan. These matters decisively influenced the lender’s decision to grant the financing.
 
Finnvera plc is entitled to suspend disbursement of the loan if the project or its financing has changed  substantially after the offer was given, if Finnvera plc  was given misleading information when the loan was granted, if the borrower’s prerequisites or financial status have essentially weakened, or if the circum-stances have otherwise changed considerably in a way that increases Finnvera plc’s risk.
 
2  Interest period and interest days
 
2.1 The interest on the loan is fixed in interest-rate   periods (period), the first of which begins on the date the next interest rate revision date. The following periods are all six months.
 
2.2 Interest is calculated based on the actual number of interest days, using 360 days as the divider.
 
3  Interest rate
 
3.1 The interest rate on the loan is made up of the six-month Euribor (reference rate) and a margin.
 
The interest rate is payable retroactively on the interest payment dates.
 
The interest rate is fixed through each period. Each part of the loan withdrawn is subject to the same interest rate and period.
 
3.2 The reference rate used for the first period is that quoted two banking days before the first instalment of the loan is withdrawn, and otherwise the rate two banking days before the interest revision date.
 
The reference rate quotation date is the date on which its value is specified according to currently valid international practice.
 
3.3 If the loan is subject to an interest rate subsidy mentioned in the financing offer, the interest will be reduced by the amount of the subsidy during the period mentioned in the offer.
 
If the conditions for reserving an interest rate subsidy cease, the borrower is not longer entitled to the interest
rate subsidy. In this case the borrower must repay the interest rate subsidy received.
 
3.4 Should the original loan repayment schedule be changed or the loan period extended, Finnvera plc has a right to charge higher interest.
 
4  Repayment
 
The loan is repaid to Finnvera plc
in equal instalments.
 
 
The borrower is entitled to repay the loan or part of it prematurately on the ending date of the interest determination period. Notice must be given of the termination of the loan or part of it in writing fourteen (14) days before the period ends. The borrower must pay a handling fee according to Finnvera plc’s service price list.
 
If the interest on the loan is reduced by the interest rate subsidy mentioned in the financing offer during a period mentioned in the proposal, the loan or part of it may be repaid at the earliest within a year of the end of the interest rate subsidy period.
 
5 Cessation of reference interest rate quotation
 
If the reference rate quotation ceases or is suspended, the reference rate applicable to the loan will be determined in accordance with the law or official decision or instruction issued concerning a new reference rate.
 
If no law or official decision or instruction is issued concerning a new reference rate, Finnvera plc and the borrower will agree on a new reference rate to be applied to the loan. If Finnvera plc and the borrower fail to reach agreement on a new reference rate before the end of the current interest period, the reference rate applicable to the loan will remain that used for the loan before the end of the interest period.
 
If Finnvera plc and the borrower fail to reach agreement on a new reference rate within six months of the end of the interest period, Finnvera plc will fix the new   reference rate after consulting the authorities supervising its operations.
 
6 Penalt interest
 
If the borrower fails to pay off the loan, a loan instalment, interest or charges and fees related to repayment and other management of the loan so that   these reach the Finnvera plc account on the due date at the latest, said borrower shall be required to pay an annual penal interest on the overdue amount from the due date to the date of payment. The penal interest rate is 6 percentage points above the reference rate charged on the loan, though not less than 16 per cent.
